Startup looking for fulltime onsite environment artist in NYC

danielsuo · Aug 2013

Floored is a NYC-based technology company that provides interactive 3D models. We are looking for 1-2 onsite part- or full-time environment artists with significant experience working with game assets and textures for a real-time engine such as Unreal, Crytek, or Unity.

Interested candidates should send resume and portfolio to daniel@floored.com. A good application will include the following:
- An optimized *.obj model of a piece of furniture
- 2048x2048 source; 512x512 output *.png textures for diffuse, specular, gloss, normal, binary alpha (optional), and emissive (optional)

We will be looking for thoughtful optimization and a good eye for detail / realism. Perks include an infinite pantry and very, very gourmet coffee (roasted, ground, brewed in-house).

Hey guys, watch out for these guys. Don't think they are on the level. Did an art test for them, which required submission through their contractor site. Creating my account required giving my PayPal account. Did an art test where I created a desk for them, and they required I submit the finished model and textures. $20 showed up in my PayPal account and after assurances that they would get back to me, I haven't heard anything from them in almost a month. If you do an art test for them, make sure to place heavy watermarks on your textures as a backup.

I was in touch with these guys and the did seem on the up an up. However, contact just ended abruptly. I haven't followed up with them. Didn't do a test though, entirely possible I asked too many questions. They did send me some examples of their work as I was talking with them about the test and compensation, etc. So yea, if you do talk to them, ask questions, do homework, and be careful.
